Although I didn't like some of his more extreme positions, I always found Ron Paul's rapid growth in popularity followed by a rather poor performance (given the amount of money at his disposal) interesting. I decided to run a game as him. The primaries were easy as he swept all the early primaries. After Super Tuesday, his only contender was Rudy Giuliani, who won all the primaries from Pennsylvania on, though he still lost. Ron Paul had a huge lead over Hillary Clinton until the last few weeks, when the gap closed, which led to this map.

Ron Paul: 53.2%, 285 Ev'sHillary Clinton: 46.8%, 253 Ev's

A 0.5 percent swing in Pennsylvania would've given Hillary the victory. Overall, Paul was a weak candidate in the electoral college in this game.

I ran Bayh more as a Centrist. A 4.4, I believe. Barr had a good showing, and was able to pick up 5% in several states. Wyoming was a last second thing. I deployed Hillary to Texas, and she spent a majority of her time there. For the longest time, over 200 EV's were in the "toss-up" category. A lot of close states. I'm proud of myself for getting over 40% in Utah, as well.

^^^How did you manage to get 60% in Louisiana? It's always extremely close when I play. It's actually not too bizarre, since all of those states are somewhat close at the beginning of the game, except Texas.
